Firefly Island {A Review}

Can the life you never knew you wanted become the one you risk it all to keep?

For Mallory, the main character of Lisa Wingates’ Firefly Island, it’s a question she’ll be forced to answer. As a 34 year old career focused congressional staffer, Mallory could not be more surprised and overwhelmed by the adventures of unexpected love, marriage, motherhood, and relocation from city to country living on a ranch in Moses Lake, Texas.

Now having to deal with only one of those unexpected events can be a challenge but Mallory’s life is compounded by dealing with all four while attempting to adjust to life away from her beloved family and career. With her humorous escapades of killing vermin, interactions with the locals in Moses Lake, ventures in blogging and the mystery surrounding her husband’s boss Jack West, the story kept me laughing and intrigued.

Ms Wingate takes readers on a tale of colorful characters, love, and mystery. And the way she masterfully paints with her words drew me into this story so much so I could hardly put this book down.

Apparently Firefly Island is book three in the Moses Lake Series; however, I have not read any of the previous books and didn’t feel that it was necessary to understand the storyline. This is my first time reading any of Ms Wingate’s book but after reading Firefly Island, I’m definitely putting her books on my TBR list.
